What is the best method to fight or get rid of tooth decay AND maybe gum disease?

fighting tooth decay and gum disease can sometimes seem like an uphill battle. you mught find you need to make a complete lifestyle change. cavities thrive and grow when you combine sugar with plaque, even more so in a dry enviornment. you need to brush at least 3 times a day, after every meal, floss at least once a day, and drink lots of water. fluoride treatment has been proven to retard the growth of smaller cavities, and prevent new ones from occuring. also cutting out the sugars, and starches (which turn into sugars) and replacing them with healthy alternatives will prove very beneficial.


as for the gum disease, daily flossing is required, but be gental, agressive flossing can do more harm than good. also there is a fantstic oral rinse which you can purchase from you dentist of hygeinist, called CHLORHEXIDINE. it works wonders.


also, you may want to consider having your dental cleanings done every 3months instead of 6 you may just have a high maintenence mouth.

Reply:To fight tooth decay you need to do correct/soft brushing twice daily with a gap of 12 hours between them. As bacteria colonise in 12 hours.


To get rid of Tooth decay go to a Dentist as ther are no short cuts and it has to be proffessionally removed when it occurs.


To prevent gum disease again brush your teeth well and massage your gums wetting your finger after brushing. Go for a cleaning ( scaling) to a dentist once in 6 months even if you dont see tartar in your mouth.
